Alex returns for another night of unpredictable conversation and a playlist which includes tracks handpicked by the Dark Lord himself. Album & Record of the Week featured also.

Alex will be entertaining you through the night with his mix of lively chat and great music on The Best Time of the Day Show. This morning, Alex is still talking World Cup, without even mentioning football. Plus, there is the new thread, Interview with the Vegetable, in which carrots beg not to have to go outside whenever it snows to play snowman's nose, and onions warn that they will make you cry if you try to hurt them.
From Lester's Library there is a brand new track by Sarah McLachlan and a track by country artist, Easton Corbin. The Listener's Library track this morning is a forgotten gem by Fun Boy Three. There is another classic Oasis track from Album of the Week, plus another play of Record of the Week by I Am Kloot. Pause for Thought comes from Richard Littledale.
